It’s that time of year again, with the sparkling Baking Industry Awards taking place last Wednesday. This year’s venue was the splendid Park Lane Hilton, London, and  we all enjoyed a great evening’s entertainment celebrating the very best in the business.

We’re BIA Customer Focus Award winners!

When the awards host, TV personality Myleene Klass, announced Speciality Breads as the winner of the BIA Customer Focus Award for 2013, we were absolutely thrilled. Run by British Baker magazine, the awards have been recognising industry excellence since 1987 and they’re high profile stuff, attended by more than 800 key industry luminaries.

We won the prestigious award for our work supplying the 2012 Olympics caterers with speciality frozen breads, a contract we were delighted to win and thoroughly enjoyed fulfilling. We were so proud to play our part in an event that meant to much to so many people, and gave the entire nation such a boost.

Thanks to British Baker Magazine for another excellent event, and for another year of expert insight into our fast-changing market. Thank you to the judges who voted us the winners. And thank you to our customers, who have been rooting for us. The photo? Our MD Peter Millen, centre, on stage accepting the Award.
